OK lets follow this through.
1.Annik claims to be in total control of his/her life.
Quote:when you understand you're completely in charge of your life
2.I argue that is delusional (mainly because there are so many factors in life that we are unable to control) I use St.Francis of Assissi as a good example of a wiser outlook.
3.Annik goes off on one about fairytales?? How does that address the issue that beleving you are in total control of your life is delusional? Stay on topic, atheists do this all the time, go off on rants about straw man versions of Christianity to avoid the topic at hand!
So a more rational way of dealing with life is to let some long dead Canaanite tell you how to live it?
You are the one creating a strawman. Try and find the flaws in your own arguments before you attempt to do it with others.
